Would You Say the Saudis Own Bush?
Edited on Wed Apr-28-04 09:25 PM by The Lone Liberal
They paid $1.476 BILLION to the House of Bush and its allied companies and institutions for him.

The Carlyle Group: $1,268,600,000

Halliburton: $180 million

Harken Energy: $25 million

Charitable Donations to Bush Charities: $3.5 million

Taken from House of Bush, House Saud

This does not count the hundreds of millions that went to Chevron when Condi was there, or for the millions--billions that are hidden from public knowledge.

You and I would not pay that much for the moron, but the Saudis would seem to have made a good deal, they now own the U.S. of A. The great thing is they are making money while we the taxpayers pay for fighting terrorist they, Saudis, funded. Doesn’t it seem like we should at least have been kissed?

2. Yuck..... Kissed? Not me thanks.
You know when I really felt what Saudi society is all about? My ex-husband was offered a job at a University in Saudi Arabia several years ago. Before signing the contract they sent us a thick pamphlet about what women could not do in Saudi Arabia. When I saw all these restrictions and they applied to ME I almost went bananas. Needless to say, we did not go.
You don't really grasp reality until it hits you.
That is why it REALLY bothers me that our government is so intertwined with these people.

8. Say what you want about Kerry...
...but he is not an employee of the House of Saud...for that reason alone, the possibility of him becoming President scares the Saudis more than it scares domestic Republicans.

10. The Saudis were looking for an expensive hooker, and they found one
in bush*. They knew that he was completely amoral, would sell his soul for a dollar bill, and didn't care what laws that he had to break, how much chicanery he had to pull, and no deal was too sleazy. I mean, it was well known by those in power that his family made their money dealing with the Nazis. That fact, in itself, says that this family are a bunch of money grubbing, coke snorting, hard drinking whores. What was it bush* said his father and Jeb talked about when they were just sitting around chewing the fat? "Pussy" was his answer, I believe. Good Christian values, not?

Didn't Poppy spoil his 'relationship' with Babs over an affair? Is that true or not? And well, we all know about Neil. Quite a piece of work, that one.

No, they knew exactly what they were doing when they hooked up with the bush family. The family that operates on the Larry, Darryl, & Darryl theory of economics, namely Anything For A Buck.

11. "Prince Bandar's Bitch Lives Here"
Like the guy that stood outside the Texas Governors mansion that said "Tom Delay's Bitch Lives Here".

How do you paste pictures anyway?

15. If only it were only Bush.
They are owning us and they know it. The religious fundamentalism is part of it. Once they have the women and children subjugated, it's a short step to imperialism between them and us. I know I sound extreme, but it worries me.

19. What would the reaction be..
Edited on Thu Apr-29-04 12:49 AM by Aidoneus
if you said that about, I don't know, Jews? I guess the scapegoat of the age has shifted slightly, so some things are more or less socially acceptable to say than they used to be.. It's pathetic how easily people fall for the very same sort of propaganda over and over again. Next season's predicted best seller: "Protocols of the Elders of Makkah". The reviews here will be fawning if they just throw in a token "ABB" reference.
